Who wants Airtran?

[roughneck]

$280 million will buy you airtran. You might get a couple of hundred million in cash with the deal. The convertable notes aren't due for years to come.

Any bidders?

Maybe TPG will buy Airtran and Frontier, then combine Airtran, Spirit, Midwest and Frontier, I think that will be a descend size airline, and call the new airline MIDWEST

How about Eastern Air Lines?

 

[FlyWolf]

sure why not, I am sure between all our seniority lists we will have enough ex-Eastern guys.

Any other suggested names before we close the deal?

 

[FlyWolf]

I think we need Alaska too to get close to SWA size

How about from the thread starter: "Descend Airlines"

 

[FlyWolf]

Yeah, not bad, How about "AirONE" since few airlines will become ONE.

 

[TV9Driver]

I always liked the names proposed when we (aai) and Midwest were talking merger... MidAir Airways
